repartee with the interlocutor,
I'rof. Woosley, kept the house in
a constant scream of mirth, was
perl laps the most edifying part of
the program. No one was spared,
faculty, courses, love-sick couples,
neighbors, food and everything
else assailable came under the no
tice of these side-splitting com
edians. The number was inter
spersed with solos by the follow
ing: -J. C. Welch, L. Strayhorn,
11. A. Stewart, .Jr., P. V. Fitzger
ald and F. 11. Mendenhall; the
chorus included beside these. 11\
Hodgin and Lester Coggins.
Between parts .Mr. Stewart
sang one of his popular selections
and a diverting monologue was
rendered by \Y. Foil ISriitkley.
The seiond act was featured by
the ludicrous stunts and remarks
of Uudd and Futrell. The closing
number was a pleasing rendition
of old familiar melodies and was
enlivened by the clogging of R. C
Inlla, L. Strayhorn, F. H. .Men

.Miss Dawson added much to
the musical numbers of the pro

work in the Science Club for this

ing discussed induced currents
and the action of induction coils,
after which I'rof. Dixon showed
some experiments with a vacuum

showed two properties of the
kathode rays, namely, that they
travel in straight lines and that
some substances become luminous
under their action.

EASTER MONDAY GAME
Track Meet h With Elon April 16—Bad Weather on
South Carolina Trip—Loses to
Wofford.
Guilford's South Carolina trip
was seriously handicapped by the
adverse weather conditions so
that she only met Wofford in
Hpurtanlmrg. While the (Quakers
out-played, the South Carolinians,
and gained more hits, they lost on
account of the support given
Strayhorne. Woll'ord gleaned on
ly > safe hits oil' his delivery, but
these coupled with the five errors
gave them their total of four runs.
They played a good strong game,
and were especially fast in the
outfield, taking in several drives
that looked good for extra bases.
Guilford hit hard and consistent
ly, bnt it seemed that the neces
sary hit was not forthcoming at
the needed time. She scored all
three runs in the fourth wlieu
Garner singled, Moore drew a
pass, and Hodgin tripled. Then
Strayhorne scored him by a sin
gle. Men were on the bases in
every inning after this but were
unable to make the circuit. Wof
ford put across the winning run
in the eighth on a double, an in
field out, and a single by Brunson.

Easter Monday Game.
Elon was defeated on Easter
Monday 4 to 1 in Greensboro on
a slow, wet diamond before a
small crowd. Yet in spite of these
conditions the game was good and
hotly contested. Neither scored
until the fourth, when Guilford
gained one. Elon's lone tally
came in the seventh when Steph
enson doubled, and scored on two
errors. Both \Y. Short for Guil
ford. and Hailey, Elon's southpaw,
twirled good games, with Short
getting a shade the advantage. He
let Elon down with five hits, while
we obtained six, and Elon was un
able to get more than one of these
in a single inning. Crabtree fea
tured by getting a double and a
triple in four trips to the plate.

NUMBER 22
Y. M. C. A. NOTES
On last Thursday evening the
regular prayer meeting was led
by .1. D. Wood, who centered his
remarks on the need of energy and
vigorous effort in the struggle of
life. He said that the easiest
tiling to do was seldom the best
thing for ns, but in order to ac
complish something we must
strive. Wherever there is life
there is strife even in the lowest
animals and in order to make this
struggle for existence we must be
energetic and alert, or we will lose
the race to those who work.
In intellectual development it
requires vigorous activity of mind
to discover the truths worth while.
No man who does not exert his en-
ergies can increase his mental ca
pacities. It even takes effort to
develop a good character. We
must meet the resistance offered
by sin or be borne down by it.
Temptation is continually at hand
and we must fight it by use of en
ergy ai.u determination.
The meeting on Ihe evening of
April Ist was conducted by Ray
mond Smith, who talked about
•'Things Worth While." lie said
we should try to choose the tilings
worth while; that Christ was an
example of one who showed us
these tilings by his life. lie also
showed the things we should let
go. as self-seeking, pretence, etc.
In following Christ's life more
closely we can see better how to
model our own lives.

put out as strong a team as pos
